The Casio supported pricing scheme for UK schools slashes the Fx-CG50’s price by roughly half, which my sixth form advertised to us as really helpful for visualising anything graphical. Faced with a good deal on something they thought would be useful (and fun!) for students I guess they didn’t dig very hard for caveats.

Our teachers were just as intrigued and excited as we are when they saw games running on the calculator for the first time, and from then on just told students off for getting sidetracked by Super Mario on a case by case basis.
